just the bidding system is bit confusing

Really nice game with a very cool concept! I was a bit confused with the betting system at first, and the fonts were a bit hard to read, but all in all, really good work!

Very nice game with great art and music! Loved the take on the theme but was a little confused by the betting system and thought the game would do better with a timer or something to create a sense of urgency.

I enjoyed this game :D. The art, the concept, the text color clues (i discovered on the second round) The bet option is not clear, even when i discovered checking those heroes again. Music and sounds fit with the game. Good entry!

It took me some time to fully understand everything but after some time I think I fully understood it. I like the game, the concept, the way you interpreted the theme, the art, the sound effects and the music. It's a very good game! Probably one of the best in this game jam! Good job.

It took a bit to get but I love the concept, I would love it if there was more potion options and maybe more bet options, right now it's very easy to cheese by giving them a 0 buff potion and saying they'll die at level 1, but I love the concept and hope you keep working on it :D

It was a little hard to understand what I had to do and what the ingredients did, but when I got it, it was very fun. Loved the idea of betting when heroes would die. Still no clue what the symbols next to the heroes's image mean :P it was cool overall.

A really cool concept, I enjoyed it! It took me a few potions to figure out what was going on with the stats. The game play is smooth and pretty intuitive but is really repetitive. I'd love to see the game expanded with additional mechanics to give it more depth. The idea of betting on which floor the hero dies is neat and I see a lot of potential there.

The art  is goregeous and the music / sound effects fit nicely.

Great job :)

Very good concept, the beginning is difficult, but I think it makes sense (you have to learn what the ingredients do)

Pretty cool little game! 

It may be a bit difficult to figure out what all the items do at the start, but I didn't have a huge problem with it. 

I really liked the bidding on when a hero will die feature, there is a lot of room for more mechanics here. Like, if a hero passes a dungeon, they will give you a tip. So you might be incentivized to make them a stronger potion without them knowing, at the cost of having to use more ingredients. Or maybe, being able to spike a potion to be worse, to possibly more accurately predict their demise.

Being able to see the hero's health seemed to be the only key factor when guessing if they would survive. Although, maybe the magic users getting strength was also a useless thing for them to have. Maybe being able to see the dungeon they are going into, or what threats they might face would help with having more accurate predictions.

Artstyle is great, and the music fits the game theme.

Overall a nice game! Was a lot of fun!

Hey this is cool! Seems like you also wanted to make a game about a bartender/potion maker. I love all the little systems in the game and the art is spot on. I just wish the ingredients felt more straight forward. I didnt know which herb to put, and except the feather, I didnt know what the other ingredients did. But overall, very cool!

Really neat little concept with very cute art! Only downside is it's not resizable and at my resolution the small text is difficult to read. A fun little betting game, nevertheless.

Cool game! I like the concept and the system. The beginning is confusing when you're just trying to figure out how everything works, but I like it! It's not clear initally how to collect winnings from bets, and it's sort of difficult to gauge how tough the dungeon is.

But cool game! I like it.
